There’s definitely something to be said about the beauty and elegance of tall wedding table centerpieces. But in reality? No one likes having to twist their necks around a towering bouquet in order to converse with the person sitting opposite them. Of course, if you can get a hold of really tall, skinny vases, and arrange the fullness above eye-level, that would work. But another option is just keeping the centerpieces low, so your guests will be able to see everyone around the table!
Another bonus: low centerpieces are easier to DIY than higher, more ornate ones. They can also be a more cost effective, but still gorgeous, option!
Here are some pretty ideas to get you inspired! And remember, centerpieces do not have to be flowers only. See how others incorporated things like sea shells and live fish in glass bowls!
